Mrs. Stoney Ridge found the cucumber patch!! Everything Hay Series: How to tell if it's dry enough

What happens here

Carefully approach a section of the organic material and use your hands to lightly feel and rustle the uppermost layer. As demonstrated in the video, the top layer exposed to the sun is typically mostly dry and may feel brittle, producing a rustling sound when handled. Note the texture and observe if any green elements are present, indicating residual moisture that is gradually dissipating. This step provides insight into the surface-level dryness of the material.

Goal: Use your hands to gently feel and rustle the top layer of the organic material to assess its dryness, noting the texture and any remaining greenness.
